Flexyx drugs: Cedilanid-d

Cedilanid-d - General Information:

Deacetyllanatoside C. A cardiotonic glycoside from the leaves of Digitalis lanata. [PubChem]

Pharmacology:

Cedilanid-d is a cardiac glycoside used to treat congestive heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias due to reentry mechanisms, and to control ventricular rate in the treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation.

Additional information about Cedilanid-d

Cedilanid-d Indication: For the treatment and management of Congestive cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmias and heart failure.
Mechanism Of Action: Cedilanid-d inhibits the Na-K-ATPase membrane pump, resulting in an increase in intracellular sodium and calcium concentrations. Increased intracellular concentrations of calcium may promote activation of contractile proteins (e.g., actin, myosin). Cedilanid-d also acts on the electrical activity of the heart, increasing the slope of phase 4 depolarization, shortening the action potential duration, and decreasing the maximal diastolic potential.
